A/N: And I'm back with a new chapter and I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the previous chapter! I'm sure that you're all aware of a certain pandemic that is causing grief and problems to everyone and to be honest, I am scared. So please stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask and keep yourself healthy as possible. I'm doing it right now and it's a pain in the ass but I'm enduring it.

Number01BlazblueFan - Kenji don't dislike blondes, he is just annoyed by them. And your right, this trait doesn't exist in canon D-Frag!. I created this trait for Kenji as a running gag, I mean... how many blondes are there in the anime world.

And with that done, let's get this chapter started!

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic except if it's my OCs which rarely makes an appearance.

-EARTH 1612-

Uninhabited Mountain, Somewhere in Japan

It was a nice day as we see Issei Hyoudou climbing a hill while panting heavily and carrying a large bag on his back. Up ahead, we see Rias Gremory, Asia Argento and Akeno Himejima standing next to what seems like a drinking fountain with water flowing down from a bamboo onto a basin.

"Come on, Issei." Rias beckoned, "Hurry up!" she said waving her hand.

"The water is good." Akeno added after taking a sip of water.

"O-Okay...'' Issei wheezed.

Asia turns to Rias, "U-Um, should I help him carry the bags?'' she suggested with a look of concern.

"It's okay." Rias reassured, "He has to be able to handle it.'' she said.

We then see Yuuto Kiba walks past Issei, carrying the same large bag as him, "I'm going on head.'' the blonde mused.

"Damn you for showing off how easy for you have it!" Issei exclaimed.

Suddenly, Koneko Toujou walks past him, carrying a bag four times the size, much to his shock, "Pardon me.'' the white-haired rook excused.

Issei's mouth went wide open, he was completely in shock that he fell down backwards before getting into all fours, "I give up!" he cried.

Rias stares at him for a minute before smiling, "Issei, I'll make use of this training camp to make you a lot stronger.'' she thought, "A lot stronger.'' she declared.

Meanwhile, we see Chizuru Tachibana, Kenji Kazama and Izuku Midoriya watching them from a higher ground, more specifically at Issei, whom is completely struggling to reach the top.

"Look at that fool..." Kenji muttered at Issei, "... he is not even trying.'' he grumbled.

"Are you sure that this training camp will Hyoudou-senpai get stronger?'' Izuku asked in concern.

Chizuru crosses his arms, "He has to.'' he replied, "As much as I dislike that Riser-douche... that guy is definitely a tough cookie to beat.'' he pointed out, "And with his entire peerage already had experience with this Rating Game, a training camp is really needed, not just for Issei but for everybody else.'' he explained.

"I just hope everything goes well." Izuku muttered.

Kenji then turn to Chizuru, "By the way... since we're allowed to take part of the Rating Game.'' he pointed out, "How many us will take part in that stupid game?'' he questioned.

"Yeah." Izuku spoke, "With the exception of Gremory-senpai, fifteen more people are needed in this game and since they are already part of the peerage, Hyoudou-senpai, Argento-senpai, Kiba-senpai, Toujou-san and Himejima-senpai are officially in.'' he stated.

"With Rias' peerage already have five members... that means there are ten spots available." Kenji pointed out.

"Well... the three of us are obviously taking part of the game." Chizuru reminded, "Both Kiyomasa and "Michael Jackson" Rock Lee are joining us while Ochako, Izumo, Nejire, Kim and Jackie decided to sit this one out, so they can look after Kuoh while were gone.'' he stated.

"With the five us added... there are five spots left." Kenji pointed out, "Who do you had in mind then? Are we facing that douche with just the eleven of us or are we filling in the remaining spots?'' he questioned.

"Might as well fill in the remaining spots." Chizuru replied, "To make everything fair.'' he said, "But with us? Nothing is fair.'' he declared with a grin.

A minute later, everyone arrives at a mansion somewhere in the mountain and they started training immediately. Issei unluckily fails every lesson: First he loses to Kiba in sword fighting, then he loses to Akeno in concentrating and manipulating magic, which Asia is a natural in and then loses to Koneko in combat training and gets beaten badly.

From one side of the forest, we see Kenji, Chizuru and Izuku sitting on three separate logs, taking a break from their own training while hearing Issei's painful cries from the other side of the area.

"Looks like Toujou-san isn't holding back in her with training Hyoudou-senpai." Izuku pointed out.

"Jesus Christ! I'm beginning to worry about the outcome of this training for Issei." Chizuru muttered with a blank look.

Kenji scoffed, "At least he is trying." he defended before turning to Chizuru, "How about you? Did something improve while you are training?'' he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing... just keeping my body guessing." Chizuru replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "But one of my abilities improved before coming in this mission.'' he claimed, "And guess what?'' he questioned, "I can now teleport twenty times a day!" he declared.

"There's still a limitation but still an improvement." Kenji admitted, "How about that power inside of you?" he pointed out, "Did that improved one bit?'' he questioned.

Chizuru sighed, "I can only use a portion of Harmony's power as I can only fully master it by forming a bond with the Goddess inside of me.'' he muttered, "And with how she is now... I find that impossible to happen.'' he admitted.

"Is she still wanting to kill Discord?'' Izuku asked.

Chizuru sighed once again, "Without a doubt.'' he confirmed.

Later that day in a kitchen somewhere in the mansion, we see Issei, Asia and Rias inside with the former two wearing aprons.

"This is your fourth lesson." Rias announced.

"This time we're using magic..." Issei spoke while looking at the apron he is wearing.

"... to cook?'' Asia finished.

"Just do what you can." Rias advised, "Good luck.'' she said before leaving the room.

And with that, Issei and Asia began cooking, "Water, please boil.'' the blonde ex-nun chanted as her hand glows green and the water on the pot starts to boil, "I did it!" she cheered.

Issei then stares at the onion in his hand, "During Akeno-san's lessons, I could only conjure a small spec of magic.'' the thought when the image of Akeno's large chest came to mind, "But just thinking of her chest makes me so..." he thought with a perverted look when suddenly the onion's peel exploded, much to his shock. Then an idea came to mind as he picks up a potato and imagined a naked image of Akeno and all of a sudden, the potato's peel exploded as well, making him smile, "Wow! Potatoes are easy as well.'' he commented.

"That is amazing, Issei-san!" Asia complimented.

Issei let's out a smug look, "I just wasn't in form earlier.'' he claimed, "This is my true power.'' he declared, "I see! With this I might become invincible!" he thought with a new-found vigor and determination as began to use his new trick in peeling as many onions and potatoes as he could.

"Issei!" Asia called out which made him stop, "What should we do about this?'' she asked referring to the large number of onion and potato peels scattered across the kitchen, much to Issei's embarrassment.

Then Kenji and Izuku enters the kitchen, "Hey guys.'' the orange-haired architect greeted before taking notice of the mess around the place, "Issei! You better clean this place up or else!" he demanded in a threatening tone.

"How do you know it was me? Issei asked.

"Are you saying that Asia made this mess?" Kenji questioned.

"It was me! It was me, Kenji! I did it!" Issei confessed in panic.

"Rikishi is that you?'' Izuku mused.

Later that night, we see everyone gathered around the dinner table having dinner while Issei, on the other hand, is staring at the girls imagining that they're naked as he eats.

Koneko took notice of this, "You're making a lewd face.'' she pointed out at Issei with a glare.

Issei let's out a flustered look with a dopey grin, "Not at all!" he denied waving his hands before rubbing the back of his head while chuckling nervously.

"Issei?'' Rias spoke, "How are you feeling after your first day of training?'' she asked with a smile.

Issei looks down, "Well, I am the weakest.'' he admitted.

"Yes, without a doubt." Rias said in agreement which made Issei flinched in shame.

"Wow... direct to the bone." Chizuru commented with a blank look.

Rias chuckled, "But, Asia's healing ability and your boosted gear are both valuable resources to us.'' she stated, "Our opponents are aware of this too, so make sure you can at least protect yourselves and don't drag the others down.'' she advised.

"Yes./R-Roger." Asia and Issei responded at the same time.

Issei then turns to Asia, "True, I'm the one who Asia involved in this.'' he admitted in his thoughts, "At the very least, I should grow strong to protect her.'' he declared as Asia took notice of his stare.

Rias then stood, "Okay, since we've finished eating, let's take a bath.'' she suggested.

Issei then stood up straight, "A-A bath?!" he exclaimed.

Rias turns to him with a smile, "Oh, Issei, are you planning to peek on us bathing?'' she questioned, "Want to go in together with us? I won't mind.'' she offered.

Kenji facefaulted, "Is this woman for real?" he questioned in his thoughts.

Rias then turns to Akeno, "How about you, Akeno?'' she asked.

Akeno places a hand on her cheek, "I want to try washing a guy's back." she mused.

"EEEEHH?!" Issei exclaimed in shock.

"Asia, you won't object to bathing with your beloved, will you?'' Rias asked with Asia nodding in response.

Rias then turns to Koneko, "Koneko?'' she asked.

"Don't wanna." Koneko replied quickly which dashed all Issei's hopes.

"Never mind, then.'' Rias mused as Issei fell backwards, "Too bad.'' she teased.

"If you peek, I'll hate you." Koneko threatened.

"Don't you hate him already?" Kenji pointed out with a blank look.

Rias then turns to the three boys of AWA, "How about you three? Would you like to join us?'' she offered.

This causes Chizuru to do a spitstake in shock while Izuku's face turns red, "N-N-N-No T-Thank you!" the green-haired superhero squawked while waving his hands in embarrassment with Koneko smiling at his reaction.

Chizuru stood up with a raised finger, "I think I need to go." he said, "I had to call my girlfriend!'' he exclaimed before quickly running out of the dining area.

Rias giggled, "What about you, Kenji-san?'' she asked.

"HELL NO!" Kenji yelled in annoyance as everyone burst out laughing.

"Chizuru has a girlfriend?" Issei questioned in the midst of the laughter.

Later that night, while everyone are asleep, Issei enters Asia's room and asked her to lend him her clothes. Later in the forest, Issei is seen practicing his new trick on a piece of log with Asia's clothes on it, Asia then arrives to see what Issei is up to and accidentally got caught on his new trick.

Guess what happened afterwards.

The next day, we see everyone gathered at a round table in a room somewhere in the mansion, Rias stood in front of them giving a lecture as everyone listens.

"Well, we demons, the fallen angels and God with his heavenly host, waged a huge war a long time ago that seem to last an eternity." Rias started, "No one really won when all was said and done. The war ended with all sides suffering heavy casualties. To make up for our near eternal lifespan, we demons reproduce really slowly. Due to the war, the species itself at the brink of extinction." she explained, "After the hostilities, the families of noble and pure-blooded demons, known as the 72 Keys, mostly died out.'' she revealed, "My family - the Gremory House, Sona's family - the Sitri House and Riser's family - the Phenex House are all that remains of the 72 Keys.'' she listed out, "This is why we demons use resurrected humans as servants.'' she revealed, "Subsequently, the Rating Game was created.'' she pointed out, "It allows our servants to gain real battle experience and gives us masters a chance to demonstrate our abilities.'' she explained, "Currently, one's performance in these games has a huge influence on rank and position." she finished before letting out a sigh, "We should take a break now, I guess all of you are tired.'' she pointed out with a smile.

"Tired is an understatement." Chizuru replied with blood-shot eyes.

Kenji then puts eye-drops on both his eyes, "Men... the history of the Rating Game and the war between the Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils was so intriguing that I forgot to blink." he stated as Rias giggled.

Akeno then stood up, "I'll go make some tea." she said.

Asia stood up as well, "Ah, I'll help you.'' she offered.

The blonde ex-nun was about to go after Akeno when Issei spoke, "Asia.'' he called out getting her attention, "Sorry about last night.'' he apologized.

Asia blushed, "Oh no.'' she reassured, "You were really amazing back the-" she was about say when Issei placed a finger at his lips.

"Ssssh." Issei hushed, "Let's keep it our secret for now.'' he requested, "'It's still not done and is far from usable." he admitted with a hand behind his head.

"I get it." Asia replied in understanding, "I'll help you until your ultimate move is complete." she declared.

Yuuto then overheard her, "Ultimate move?'' he questioned.

"It's a secret." Asia replied with a smile.

"Whatever that 'ultimate move' is... it's probably something stupid." Kenji thought in annoyance.

Rias then turns to Asia, "Oh yeah, Asia.'' she called getting the ex-nun's attention, "Because you were a nun, please tell us what you now.'' she suggested.

Asia blinks in surprise, "O-Okay.'' she replied.

After preparing everyone with tea, Asia is seen standing in front of everyone and next to her is a book of Bible and a bottle of holy water on top of a small table.

"Well, there are two key tools that the exorcists posses." Asia spoke as she held up the bottle of holy water, "First up one is a holy water." she presented, "Demons like you should not touch it.'' she advised.

"What happen if we do?" Issei asked.

"Something very bad." Asia answered.

"Bad?'' Issei repeated with a tired look, "Being ambiguous makes it more scarier." he pointed out as Kenji stood up, grabs the bottle of holy water and sprayed a few drops at Issei, "AAAAAH!" the brown-haired boy screamed in pain while smoking at the same time, "It burns! It burns!" he hissed like a certain deformed Hobbit while rolling across the floor.

"I-Issei-san!" Asia called out in concern.

"Well what do you know? It works!" Kenji mused before placing the bottle of holy water on the table, "With this... we can at least get a one-up against Riser-douche and his jabronies." he declared, "Of course... unless they had something that repels the effects of a holy water then we're back to square one.'' he stated.

"I believe that no demons in history has ever countered the effects of a holy water.'' Yuuto pointed out.

"And is it necessary to test that holy water on Hyoudou-senpai?'' Izuku asked while watching Issei squirms in pain on the floor.

Kenji waves his hand, "He's a big boy, he can take it.'' he replied.

"And Asia-san, you're a demon now." Rias reminded.

Asia sighed with her head down, "H-Hai... I totally forgot...'' she admitted.

"Where can we get more holy water?'' Kenji asked.

Asia looked up, "I can teach you all how to make it.'' she offered.

Chizuru spoke, "Or we could just ask our exorcist buddies to lend us some of those.'' he chimed in when an idea came to mind, "Or better yet... we can ask two of them to help us take on Riser and his peerage.'' he suggested with a grin.

"Isn't Kamiki-san an exorcist?'' Rias pointed out, "Why not ask her?'' she asked.

"Like I said before, Izumo volunteered to sit this one out, so she and the others can look after Kuoh while were in the game.'' Chizuru replied.

"Then who do you have in mind?'' Izuku asked.

Chizuru grinned, "I had two exorcist in mind and no, I am not talking about Allen and Lavi, Kenji, I'm talking about the Okumura Twins!" he replied.

"You mean, Rin and Yukio?'' Kenji pointed out.

"Who are you guys talking about?'' Rias asked.

"Rin and Yukio Okumura." Chizuru spoke, "They attend True Cross Academy alongside Izumo, Yukio is an experienced exorcist while Rin is an up and coming.'' he stated, "But the reason that I chose them is not just because they'll do well in this game but there's also the fact that they're half-demons.'' he explained, much to the locals' surprise.

"Wait! Those two are half-demons? How is that possible?'' Rias questioned in surprise.

Kenji shrugged his shoulders, "It's long story... let's just say that the twins are a product of devil and human getting together.'' he said before rubbing the back of his head, "Their situation is a lot more complicated than you think.'' he admitted.

"Well... I guess we'll just look forward in meeting them." Rias replied.

Chizuru then pulls out his tablet, "I'll go send them a message.'' he said when his device let's out a beeping sound. Checking on it, the blonde's eyes widen in shock and nearly presses the device on his face, "Oh shit!" he cursed.

"What?'' Izuku asked.

Chizuru looks up at everyone, "We got company!" he squawked, "An a group of Apostles are spotted around this area!" he exclaimed, much to everyone's shock.

And with that, the ORC and the trio of AWA boys quickly made their way out of the mansion and into the forest to where the Apostles' minions are spotted. Reaching an open area, the group gasped in shock when they were greeted by the sight of numerous zombies, hollows, contaminoids and lizardmen scattered around the place, and what shocks them the most is that they're all dead.

"W-What happened here?" Issei muttered in shock.

"The invaders..." Izuku spoke, "... they're all dead." he pointed out.

"But... who did it?'' Chizuru asked, "Not that I mind though since it save us the trouble.'' he admitted, "But I'm still baffled that someone took them all down!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah." Kenji said in agreement, "But like you said... who did it?'' he questioned in disbelief.

"I did." a voice answered.

Everyone turns to see a young man walking out from the wood with both in his pockets and sporting a cocky grin. The young man stands at around six feet and with a rounded face, a small scar going across his right eyebrow and cheek, a wide jaw and his eye color seems to be grey-blue. His hair is black, with the sides of his head shaved, forming a mohawk out of the hair at the top of his head, tapering off into a point at the nape of his neck. His attire consists of a faded black, 3/4-length, hooded leather jacket with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm, a gray tank top, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans, black military boots, and a necklace. A sword is slung over his back favoring his left hand, and his pistols are placed in holsters which are located at the back of his waist, under his coat.

"W-Wh-Wh-Wh-Who are... who are... who are you?" Chizuru asked in surprise at the newcomer.

The young man grinned in response, "The name is Dante.'' he introduced himself, "Also known as the Son of Sparda." he revealed.

And that's it for now and I hope you all enjoyed the new chapter despite coming out really short but honestly satisfied with it.

This is the character that debuted in this chapter:

Dante from DmC: Devil May Cry

Surprised to see Dante making an appearance? And you're all probably wondering why I chose this version to appear instead of the original that we all know and love? Well, unlike some ingrates that complains a lot, I enjoyed the game and I like the design of this Dante but of course, nothing beats the original Dante. Don't worry, the original Dante will make an appearance but not too soon.

Next chapter, the gang gets to know well the Son of Sparade.

Until then paalam!
